The Maryland General Assembly this week voted in favor of a bill that allows Tesla to become a licensed dealer in the state. It now heads to Governor Larry Hogan for a signature.
The legislation carries several restrictions, however, limiting direct sales to zero-emissions vehicles and barring any dealers that sell internal-combustion vehicles from entering into franchise agreements with Tesla. Like compromises in other states, the company is also limited to just a few retail outlets.
“This type of legislation can and should serve as an example to other states still blocking free markets, consumer choice, and American innovation,” Tesla’s VP of business development, Diarmuid O’Connell, said in a statement to the Washington Times.
